ASA 5505 open ports for DVR

[sgoodwin]

I have an ASA 5505 with ASA version 7.2(2) and ASDM version 5.2(2) and I am attempting to open ports 88 and 5445 and forward them to the IP address of my DVR.  This is all new for me.  I see several posts for other software version to do this same thing but my version appears to be older?

Hi,

The basic format in CLI is this

static (inside,outside) tcp interface 88 88 netmask 255.255.255.255

static (inside,outside) tcp interface 5445 5445 netmask 255.255.255.255

access-list OUTSIDE-IN permit tcp any host eq 88

access-list OUTSIDE-IN permit tcp any host eq 5445

access-group OUTSIDE-IN in interface outside

The above ofcourse presumes that

• Your interfaces are called "inside" and "outside"
• The LAN host is located behind "inside" interface
• The public IP address used will be that of the "outside" interface
• We are only forwarding TCP ports (for UDP just change the "tcp" -> "udp" naturally)
• You dont have an ACL created and attached to the "outside" interface yet (if you have, you use the existing ACL)

Hope this helps

Let us know if you need more information and maybe provide the current configuration for more specific suggestions on the configurations to be added
